What it does
Running a site in more than one language usually means juggling duplicate content, mismatched menus and confusing URLs. This plugin keeps each translation linked to its original inside WordPress, so you can manage every language version from the same dashboard. It covers posts, pages, media, categories, tags, custom post types and taxonomies, and it handles right-to-left languages too. You choose how language appears in your URLs: as subdirectories, subdomains or separate domains for each language, with translatable slugs for readable links.
The plugin fits a range of sites, from blogs to company sites and online stores. It works with the WordPress Block Editor and Advanced Custom Fields Pro, which helps when your pages rely on custom fields or complex layouts. Teams that use professional translators can export and import content as XLIFF files, and DeepL integration offers machine translation (DeepL does not work with Elementor). Developers get REST API support and compatibility with the WPML API for custom work.
Best for
- Businesses serving customers in several languages
- Blogs and content sites publishing translated articles
- Developers building custom multilingual WordPress projects
Features
Translate all content types
Translate posts, pages, media, categories, tags, custom post types and taxonomies, so every part of your site can have a version in each language.
Flexible language URLs
Set languages through subdirectories, subdomains or separate domains, depending on how you want each language version of your site organized.
Translatable URL slugs
Translate slugs for posts, custom post types and taxonomies so each language gets human-readable links instead of reusing the original wording.
Right-to-left language support
Sites in languages that read right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew, display properly alongside your left-to-right languages.
XLIFF import and export
Export content as XLIFF files for professional translators, then import the finished translations back into your site.
DeepL machine translation
Use DeepL integration to create automatic translations as a starting point. Note that DeepL translation does not work with Elementor content.
Duplication and synchronization
Duplicate posts across languages and copy or sync original content to translations, keeping structure consistent while you adjust language-specific details.
Language switcher options
Add a customizable language switcher as a widget or in navigation menus so visitors can move between languages.

Questions about Polylang Pro
Can I translate custom post types and custom fields?
Yes. Custom post types and taxonomies can be translated along with their slugs, and the plugin integrates with Advanced Custom Fields Pro so dynamic fields and complex layouts can be translated too.
How are the different languages shown in my URLs?
You can choose subdirectories, subdomains or a separate domain for each language. URL slugs can also be translated, so links stay readable in every language you publish.
Does it offer automatic translation?
It includes DeepL integration for automatic translations, which you can review and edit. DeepL does not work with Elementor content, so pages built with Elementor need another approach, such as XLIFF export to a translator.
Does it work with the Block Editor?
Yes. Polylang Pro integrates with the WordPress Block Editor, so content built with blocks can be translated, and you can duplicate posts into other languages to keep the same structure.
Is Polylang Pro free?
The code of Polylang Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Polylang Pro is this?
Version 3.8.10, released Sep 28, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Polylang Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Polylang Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
